Residency, not citizenship. Huge difference.

• edblarney 10y ago
  Both residency and citizenship are controlled at the Federal level. (Except Quebec :). Also, I agree that there should be a difference, and that should be reflected in the tax as well. Non local residents 15% tax, resident, non citizens 5% tax, citizens 0% tax. For every regime.

    This would deter a lot of high skilled immigrants coming into Canada. Waiting 6 years to buy a house is crazy. They'd move elsewhere. If you have a permanent residency, it should not incur a tax.
